[sphexx]

2 today! After OOXXX only 10 possibles according to WORDLEBOT ㋡ .

 

[Nod]

5 for me too. Blanked with guess one, xyxxy, xyyxg (mainly new starter), ygygg (chose the wrong option - what a surprise!!!) which made the solution a no brainer.

 

[Peter123]

4 again.

 

[Cockney]

3 today.

 

[tarric]

4 today 3Y, 3Y, 2G 1Y, 5G.

 

[Dale.]

3 today,

2Y,
3Y,
5G.

 

[Jannyfox]

Another 4. 2y, 3y. 3g 2y, turned the 2ys around and 5g

 

[RIR]

5 today.

 

[Norkie]

And 5 here also, I found this one quite difficult

 

[Ricardodaforce]

5 today.

 

[sphexx]

4 today..

 

[Nod]

3 for me. My starter got me yxyxx which converted to an xggyy with the 2 ys reused. A second or 2 of mental prestadigitaion (or should that be prestasynaptation?!) threw up the solution.

 

[Tigger.ufo]

4 for me too. Went downhill after a promising start!

3Y

[Cockney]

2 today.
GYYXY

[RIR]

3 today…

 

[Norkie]

Well done Brian, 4 for me.

I'd love to know what your opening word was?

 

[Cockney]

Well done Brian, 4 for me.

I'd love to know what your opening word was?

I will message you it so as not to spoil.

 

[Dale.]

3 over here,

2Y,
4Y,
5G.

 

[tarric]

Well a 3 today 3Y, 1G 3Y which left me with only one word I could think of that would fit 5G.

I think I can guess.

 

[Jannyfox]

5 today. Could have been 4. I had a feeling one of the ys should be at the beginning but I couldn't immediately think of anything that fitted the other two ys I had so tried a different approach. Wrong! Ah well at least it wasn't a 6 or a 7...

 

[Peter123]

I broke my run of 4 today - with a 5.

 

[Ricardodaforce]

3 Today.

 

[sphexx]

Slogged to 5 today. My starter was fairly useless, 354 possibles after says WORDLEBOT.
BXXXX XXBXO XOXXO OOXXO OOOOO

 

[Cockney]

5 here.

 

[RIR]

Epic fail today

 

[Tigger.ufo]

4 for me ... had to have a good think!

1Y
1G, 1Y
2G
5G

 

[tarric]

Took all 6 this morning 1G, 1G 2Y, 3G after which I narrowed it down to a handful of words, most of which I would call uncommon but I got there before I ran out of guesses 3G, 3G, 5G.

 

[Jannyfox]

5 again. Must do better. It was nagging at me around line 3 but I thought it was spelt differently

 

[Norkie]

Oh dear, a fail today! I hate this game

 

[sphexx]

Oh dear, a fail today! I hate this game

When I got in 5 I thought I was lucky and that it could easily prove difficult depending on luck of choices.

 

[Peter123]

Got it in 5. Took a bit of thinking about.

 

[Nod]

5 for me too. Like Jan, I thought it was spelled differently but I now know that either is acceptable (in real English as well as whatever they speak across the pond!)

xxxxg, xxxxg, xxyxg, gxxgg, solve.

 

[Ricardodaforce]

4 today.

 

[sphexx]

3 today. Rather pleased with myself as I had a blank first line which contained two vowels so I used a second guess with a word containing the other three vowels which left, according to WORDLEBOT only one possible word despite looking unpromising.

XXXXX XXOXB OOOO

Also WORDLEBOT praised my second guess, first time that’s happened. Praised by a machine!

 

[RIR]

4 today.

 

[Norkie]

And a 4 for me also, better than yesterday!!

 

[Nod]

After 2 blanks, I got the middle letter right. Took some pondering to dig the solution out of my internal lexicon!
